Today is Free Comic Book Day

imageJust a reminder in case last night was "highly affordable whiskey night."

For the uninitiated, Free Comic Book Day is a promotion in which many comic book shops take part where they can buy specially discounted comics from publishers wishing to spotlight their lines generally or a forthcoming publication specficially. From the consumer point of view, it generally means you and anyone you drag with you can visit a participating shop and come away with a free comic book, or maybe more than one. Many shops seem to use the promotion to make a special outreach to young readers, or have local cartoonists into side and run corresponding sales.
